To Scott’s Family, It was very sad to hear of Scott’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with Scott, on and off, over the past 20 years at the Travelers. I always noticed how upbeat and optimistic he was when we spoke. I gathered, after a short time, that this was his standard demeanor that he approached his day with. I thought he was a terrific guy to work with. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. Sincerely, Michael DeConti
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Scott. I knew him thru business as he was my Travelers underwriter; but he became a friend Scott was so warm and personable that I got to know him well, and always looked forward to his visits to our office. We talked about life, and travel; it was very clear that he was devoted to his wife and family. He was a wonderful person and he will be missed by all that knew him. My sincere condolences to his Wife and Family.
Scott was a wonderful underwriter and always positive; he will be sorely missed.
Dear Jane, I hope when you have a quiet moment you will have a chance to read all of the notes you will undoubtably recieve about Scott and what he meant to all of us who worked with him. That doesn’t sound right, because knowing Scott was never in the context of “work” Thinking about work was an afterthought when I thought of Scott. I first thought of his desire to approach all tasks, large and small with the most positive attitude he had in him. I next thought of how he would never take any credit for anything. If I tried to give him any type of award, or prize, (and there were many) he would always say ” it was a team effort, it’s all about the team”. I would then think about Christmas, and all of the wonderful ornamants I still have on my tree, from the both of you, many from Disney. If I thought of Scott, I thought of You, because you were always his first thought. He cared for you so deeply, you were always on his mind. I remember several years ago when you were in the hospital, very ill, I had to trick him into meeting me at a restaraunt, because he wouldn’t leave your side unless I told him I had some work questions for him. Even then, he would only stay a short time. We had a grief councillor here yesterday, and the room was filled with people with such happy memories, that I have decided that I want to make it my goal to approach all my tasks like Scott would, with enthusiasm and best efforts, and I will try to make it easier for someone else. What legacy he has left us. THank you for sharing him with us at the Travelers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Lynne BUtler(Digiacomo) 617-872-4798
Jane, I am so sorry to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Susan
Scott was always a pleasure to work with and his wonderful personality will be missed. Scott’s family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.
Jane – While I will be contacting you when things settle down, I just wanted you to know how much Scott meant to all of us, and how much you are in our thoughts. Carla
I can only imagine how dear he was to his family when we think how dear he was to his working family. He has touched so many folks and I still can hear his voice message excited with a sunny day and even it was cloudy – he was happy. He will always be remembered and my deepest condolences to his family.
Dear Jane and family, I was so surprised and deeply saddened to hear that Scott had passed away over the weekend. I spoke to Scott Friday afternoon and he had mentioned that he was looking forward to his daily walk. He was always so helpful to me on all my underwriting questions, no matter how trivial they may have been, he was always willing to help and guide. I will truly miss his happy upbeat personality. I could always hear the smile in his face over the phone. I am grateful for having the opporunity to have worked with him in a agent/underwriter capacity. My thoughts are with you and your family and please know that Scott will never be forgotton.
Dear Mary and Matthew: I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Scott and Mary at Travelers in Danvers many years ago. Scott was a kind and compassionate man who left a lasting impression with everyone he met. What a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Anne Daley
Jane, I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I have been in the insurance business for 31 years and Scott was one of the finest people I have ever met in this business or outside of it. Having a CT territory, I remember when my sales director told me I was going to be taking on another group of agents and would be working with underwriters in Braintree. I was a little skeptical about how well that would work until about 3 seconds into my first conversation with Scott. Please know that it was an honor and privilege to work with him. Even more importantly, I was lucky and blessed that we became friends. Those few days that we co-traveled to visit our CT agents will be memories that I will always cherish. I was thrilled that after we were reassigned, we stayed in touch. Whenever we talked, emailed or IM’d, Scott always made my day a good day. His laugh and smile will stay with me forever. Scott’s positive attitude, his love for you, family, friends, and yes, Audrey… )who would always let us know when we were conducting business on her time) touched my life in so many ways. He also touched the lives of the agencies we worked with. So many of them have reached out to me over the past few days sharing in your loss and expressing the kindest words and memories about Scott. We will all miss our daily “weather report” and our friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
To Jane and all other family and friends of Scott, we send our deepest sympathy for the loss of a great man. Although briefly, we are honored to have had the chance to meet Scott. In your time of sorrow, please know that we are thinking of you and praying that God consoles you.
I had to wait until today to send this as I didn’t know what to say…I still don’t. I was scheduled to see Scott on Tuesday and was so looking forward to it, it had been quite awhile since I had seen him but as I am sure you know we had many phone conversations. Everything that others said in their messages is so true. As for me personally, I always knew he would be there and do what he could to help me, we had a mutual trust. I will miss him very much and am so glad to have known him. My thoughts are with you.
Jane I have know Scott for over 20 years and that was not nearly long enough. Our connection was work only, but it never seemed like work with Scott. If he wasn’t helping you at the moment he was offering to do so with a smile and a kind word. I will miss him.
Jane and Family: Words can not express the shock I felt when told about Scott’s passing. He is my hero. I am so proud to call him friend. He was always willing to help no matter how busy he was. I just hope he realizes how many lives he touched and hope you understand what he meant to all of us here. My thoughts and prayers will be with you now and always. Charlene
I wanted to pass on the sincere condolences from myself and my entire family. I am actually a cousin, my father, Donald McIntosh, is a first cousin of Barbara. Though I know the family has not been in contact very much over the years, my sisters and I are trying to reach out to more family members. Again, my condolences on your loss.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Scott in the insurance business. Scott, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family…you will be missed.
Jane: My deepest & most sincere sympathy on your loss. Scott was an infecious sweetheart.
Jane, I was so shocked and sad to hear about Scott’s passing! You and he were such a great team- so full of life and fun to be with! My thoughts are with you. I know you will find comfort and support from your family and friends. Take care of yourself. Donna Reulbach
Jane, I was so shocked and sorry to hear about Scott. It seems so unreal to me that he is gone. I wish that more people on this earth lived life with such passion and grace as he did. You were his first thought no matter what. I will miss his detailed voicemail messages filling us all in on the weather and making everyone that called feel like they were the most important person to him. He was a joy to work with and to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
To my beloved friend Jane, remember you will always have a friend to call on. My condolences to you and your family. He will be sadly missed. Love always you friend Patt
To Scott’s Family and Friends – I worked with Scott for the past 3 years in the insurance biz and have to say with 100% certainty: this man had the most positive powerful outlook on life! He had touched us all with his kindness, his zest for the life he lived! His enthusiasm was contagious & he will surely be sorely missed by so many. I am so sorry for your loss. No words can make it better – but knowing that he was so loved by so many can hopefully bring you comfort and a smile in your heart. God Bless you through these tough times. He surely was an angel among us. Scott – you were one of a kind. Thank you for your kindness, Rest Peacefully my friend. ~ Christine
Will miss his cheerie voice when I call and order the cream puffs. Hope he is getting the receipe in Heaven from Mom. Maybe between those two I will get mine via the sunshine. Will miss Scott but will catch up with him at a latter time. You two were the happiest couple and Jane you have great memories to live on with. You can call me anytime at 1-800 cream puff . Love Aunt Joanne your namesake
